This post is a bit flawed considering the items that TMAN are auctioning off are not the ones you are showing here. One of them are, the other one is a gilt version that is clearly more expensive than the regular one.
They carried a $20 preimum. TMAN is shipping from the EU and shipping from the EU to the US, along with escrow costs will result in the retail price being lower than the bid price. |

TMAN is misrepresenting the cost/value of what he is selling..
If this equals to being a scammer, more than half of the *coin manufacturers* in that section would be scammers. Just my 2 bitcent.  He is claiming the retail cost is lower than it really is. |

TMAN is misrepresenting the cost/value of what he is selling in this thread. http://archive.is/GGmeiThe current high bid is .05 btc however the cost to buy it is 0.0243 btc. (Times 2, or 0.0486 - he is selling two) This was pointed out to TMAN, however he promptly deleted this post as he has a self moderated thread. A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave. You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations. 0.05 BTC
Top bid.. still way below store cost and these actually have some satoshi's on them!  0.05 BTC
Top bid.. still way below store cost and these actually have some satoshi's on them! I would avoid doing business with TMAN. |

They have stolen miners from people.
Do you have any kind of proof of this? |

Is there any way to set autorenew to FRR minus a specific amount, like you can when opening a position manually?
You would need to use a bot for this. |

I don't think the likes of coinbase employ developers knowledgeable in maintaining a distributed consensus system. Maintaining a project like Bitcoin is vastly different to a normal software project. The best c++ developer in the world is useless at maintaining Bitcoin if he does not have a deep understanding in a vast array of other skills needed, and the people who have those skills are likely able to earn much more money working outside the Bitcoinsphere in less stressful and hostile environments.
Just look at the background of many of the people who have worked on Bitcoin. Mike Hearn was one of the most known senior Google engineers prior to his involvement in Bitcoin (I would occasionally read his blog for SEO tips, it was very popular), and also worked for a GCHQ contractor as a SIGINT operative (according to his google+ profile) before he went to on work on Bitcoin. Greg Maxwell worked for Juniper networks and worked on the BGP protocol, a decentralized protocol used by ISP's to exchange routing information for IP addresses, a critical part of the internet itself. Adam Back has been working on e-cash systems for decades, invented Bitcoin's POW implementation (as we have all heard a million times by now) and worked for David Chaum's company DigiCash back in the 90's. Finding people with the level of skill some of these people have who would most likely have to be willing to work for less money in a high stress environment would be difficult, it's not impossible, just not something that could easily be done.
I have posted previously speculation that the endgame of blockstream was to sell services related to confidential transactions AND confidential assets to banks to help with middle/back office functions of securities trading (blockstream is working on both confidential transactions and confidential assets projects). The amount of money to potentially be made for settlement services of securities trading well exceeds the market cap of bitcoin, even in its current bubble levels. A lot of the features implemented into Bitcoin are not necessarily actively desired by the user base and/or economy, and are implemented in a very specific way so that there is excessive technical debt and broad community consensus is not obtained prior to implementing certain features. I would opine that many of the devs working on Bitcoin currently are probably overqualified. Nevertheless, major bitcoin related companies could fairly easily fund the development of Bitcoin as blockstream does currently. |

Lauda has a long history of censoring the topics he creates. It is probably best not to do any kind of business with lauda nor any business that Lauda is representing. If you believe he should have this ability restricted, then you should post in this thread. |
|
|
|
Here is another example of Lauda deleting posts critical of him in his self-moderated threads. Lauda has a history of extortion and shady behavior. As previously mentioned, the administration does sometimes restrict the ability of scammers (such as Lauda) from being able to delete posts in self moderated threads and edit their posts. Examples of this include TheGambler/moreia/etc. and Tradefortress, among others who had a scammer tag when this system was in place. |

The companies that have reneged on the NYA conduct very little business.
Coinbase and Bitpay (and similar) have a 'sticky' userbase that for the most part is apathetic towards which scaling solutions are implemented provided the cost of using Bitcoin is lower than the cost of using traditional fiat-based payment systems, and most importantly, these companies have significant user trust that is not easily replaceable. These companies also have elaborate customer service, regulatory compliance (among other) systems in place that takes significant time, expertise and investment to build up.
You cannot fork the Coinbase code, lower the fees a little bit and expect to do any meaningful amounts of business. The NYA on the other hand, literally forks the Bitcoin code, and there are plenty of qualified devs (even those that are not currently involved in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency) that can potentially work on Bitcoin in the future.

Why is this guy and these threads allowed to continue?
Freedom of speech. It is within the OP's rights to say things that make himself look like an idiot. |

If 2x does somehow succeed, then most Bitcoin Core developers will quit Bitcoin entirely as 2x's success would mean that [...] companies can have absolute control over what Bitcoin does. [...]
To be fair, it is the bitcoin related companies that ultimately give Bitcoin utility (value), and whose opinions ultimately determine if any HF will be successful or not. It should also be noted that it is the bitcoin related companies that have the most (really all) skin in the game in seeing that Bitcoin is ultimately successful. I would also point out that if the core devs (that work for Blockstream) stop their development work on Bitcoin, then others will step in. The bitcoin related companies already actively employ many devs who could easily take over. |

Lauda does remove significant amounts of credibility from both the forum and the trust system in general.
I’m not sure why anyone would trust a trust system in which the opinions of an extortionist is viewed by default, especially one that trolls anyone who questions him.

Lauda is a liar and an extortionist. He is wrong

Do you have any evidence of a payment request from Vod?
Also FYI, mining hashpower does not guarantee anything because there is nothing stopping you from pointing the equipment at another pool/pool account. You might be able to have the equipment hosted with a trusted third party (or the lender if you trust him) and the mining revenue would go toward repayment of the loan.

The .info domain is for their block explorer, and the .com domain is for their corporate website. Neither are dangerous

In that case, it was likely orchestrated by yourself.  Yea, it's too bad this would improve your reputation. So you are behind this? I can't say I'm surprised. No. learn how to read jackass. |

Funny FAIL here ..Next time do better guy.  It was not a FAIL. It was intended to crumble upon close inspection In that case, it was likely orchestrated by yourself. Yea, it's too bad this would improve your reputation. |

Let me know if anything changes and I can evaluate if this would still be something I would be willing to pursue.

As stated in title, I need exactly 0.00357939BTC and am paying $13.50 PayPal, friends & family or however you like it. You can send it with a very low fee, as I don't mind waiting, and it's not a very big amount that I'm buying.
Local rule: If you are below full member, don't even post here. I'm not doing PayPal deals with noobs, so don't even ask or post here.
Please post here as opposed to sending me a PM, though you'll have to send me your PP address that way.
Edit: I'm going to be on the forum for the rest of the night, but I'm at work and there may be slight delays in response.
Edit edit: I changed the amount in the title. $13.50 for 0.0357939 btc.
This is not a good idea for anyone to take up the OP on. |

I should be able to do this for you within 48 hours or so.
You previously indicated you would accept 5% interest, which is something I would agree to.
I would however ask that I hold your collateral. I have successfully held more money than this multiple times in the past. I would generally agree that a bitrated escrow would probably be more secure than a forum escrow, however I have not used any of these escrow services in the past, and would prefer to start with smaller transactions with someone I have not dealt with before.
I would point out that the price of etherum has declined more than 20% in the past, so this is not risk free for the lender.
I would agree to allow you to use a portion of the collateral to repay the loan plus interest if that is what you want to do (this may have negative tax implications for you, depending on your specific situation and jurisdiction).
